[13:13:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> I suspect that we can use it to identify people that have particularly weak passwords...
[13:14:32] <LoRdTAW> They are either Dr names or have a 1 at the end.
[13:14:33] <takyon> the accounts are new
[13:14:58] <LoRdTAW> Are any copied from our existing userbase and simply have a 1 appended?
[13:15:02] -!- n1_ has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[13:15:21] <takyon> those don't look like names anyone would use
[13:15:57] <takyon> I don't see how a bot would find several "real name" handles and append a 1 to them and then register them
[13:17:46] <LoRdTAW> Yea, I did a few searches against the names without a 1. For some reason I thought I recognized a name but I may have misread.
[13:18:22] <takyon> I looked at the journal entries and I don't actually see what look to be fake/malcious links
[13:18:34] <takyon> I'd have to look into the businesses more to be sure
[13:18:49] <takyon> but if so, maybe somebody could "spam" those businesses a little
[13:19:00] <takyon> I'm not saying anyone should do it... but the option is on the table

[13:21:09] <takyon> not one of the links in the journal entry appear to be fake

[13:23:52] <takyon> it designed 2 of the websites (see the footers)
[13:24:22] <takyon> "New York Medical Marketing works with a wide range of practices and varying budgets. Your practice can employ smart SEO techniques regardless of its size and specialty"
[13:24:26] <takyon> Or in other words:
[13:24:56] <takyon> "New York Medical Marketing will spam for you if you have a small marketing budget. Your practice can employ our SEO spamming techniques"
[13:35:51] <LoRdTAW> Great marketing strategy! Spam a geek news site by creating fake user accounts and spamming the journals.

[13:49:17] <Bender> karma - coffee: 3775
[13:52:07] <Bytram> There was a rather large discussion a few years back that concluded, IIRC, that it would be nice to have code which required a user to have a certain amount of accumulated Karma before... (1) They could post to their journal, or (2) Postings to their Journal would be visible on the site (I don't recall which of those was the final decision)

[21:14:32] <boru> No, I'm not.
[21:15:05] <boru> I just find it amusing that people articles from the BBC or The Mirror seriously, when they allude to 'experts'.
[21:23:11] <pinchy> i guess most people confuse a 'cold' with the flu
[21:23:31] <pinchy> id say most would be better off taking vitamin D then getting a shot
[21:28:33] <LoRdTAW> Or just avoid human contact.
[21:43:30] <boru> Or just annihilate humans.
